iPhone Emergency notifications really far away? (NY region)

So, how many got woken up last night at 11:30PM for the NYC Emergency road notification? Oddly, we live outside Philadelphia, which is really far from NYC proper. The notification hit us at 1PM and then again at 11:30PM at night. What controls the region for these? This one seemed to be really far away.
